“In fact there is a big contest in the area it’s not merely here with the Palestinians. I think that’s the minor part. … But there’s a larger force of radical Islam that wants to eradicate peace. Wants to eradicate Israel. Wants to eradicate any American presence in the Middle East.
“They hate America because of what America stands for. … they’ll stop hating America only when America stops being America. When it stops espousing a free society, pluralism, open debate. That’s what they despise. And in fact they don’t hate America because of Israel. They hate Israel because of America. Because they see us as an outpost of that free, open civilization that you represent. And you know what? They’re right.”
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu
